Optimization of Thesaurus Processes and Systems

ThesIS can evaluate your current thesaurus processes and systems to determine ways to optimize them for effective coding, analysis and reporting.

We root out inefficiencies in your processes and introduce proven techniques that result in the collection of higher quality data and more accurate coding, which in turn results in higher quality analysis and reporting.

Review of In-House or CRO-Coded Data

If your data is being coded by someone other than ThesIS, we can perform a quality assurance review of that coding for accuracy and consistency.

This QA review can be a one-time check, or can be performed on an ongoing basis. We can perform a review of all your coded data, or just a representative sample.

A QA review by our expert coders will ensure that your MedDRA and WHO Drug data is being properly coded. We can pinpoint deficiencies in your coding, and identify instances where your coding conventions may need to be broadened.

Creation and Maintenance of Company-Specific Coding Conventions

Written coding conventions are essential to achieve accurate and consistent coding. ThesIS can create and maintain a set of coding conventions specific to your company.

Your custom coding conventions will be initially based on our "standard" coding conventions, and in the case of MedDRA, on the MedDRA "Points to Consider" document. We then tailor these base conventions to your company's specific circumstances.

In addition, we can regularly update your coding conventions as new versions of dictionaries are released. This ensures that your coding conventions always reflect changes within the latest dictionary versions.
